The Town Hall of Jubrique will have €998,000 to repair the section damaged by the rains in January and February on the Estepona road.
The rains of last winter continue to shape the agenda of Jubrique. The Town Hall has received a grant of €998,000 to repair a section of the route to Estepona, where the series of storms recorded between January and February caused the displacement of a retaining wall and significant damage to the pavement.
The work will focus on about 150 metres of the Estepona road, one of the main thoroughfares of the municipality. The movement of the ground ended up displacing the structure located at the bottom of the road, a situation that now requires the reconstruction of the wall to regain the stability of the area and prevent further issues.
Alongside this structural intervention, the pavement affected by the displacement will also be renewed. However, before starting the works, it will be necessary to accurately assess the ground conditions. The grant therefore includes a topographic survey and a geotechnical study that will serve as the basis for defining the construction solution.
The first step is already underway. The Town Hall has published the tender to draft the technical project, and once that document is completed, it will need to put the execution of the works out to tender. The final schedule will thus depend on the progress of both procedures.
The funds come entirely from the General Administration of the State, through the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory. The aid is part of the measures approved to address the damage caused by the storms at the beginning of the year.
The Royal Decree 5/2026, of February 17, enabled a global line of €7 billion to respond to the consequences of heavy rains in various areas. Of that amount, €2 billion was reserved for municipalities to finance repairs, reconstructions, and improvements in infrastructures, equipment, and municipal services.
In Málaga, this aid amounts to €88.4 million and benefits 45 municipalities. Jubrique now accesses nearly one million to address one of the most significant incidents left by the storms in the urban area.
The mayor, Alberto Benítez, and the deputy mayor, Nila Ramírez, have also highlighted the work carried out during those weeks by the municipal operational services. This initial response was later complemented by the preparation of the necessary technical and administrative documentation to apply for the aid.
The local government especially emphasizes the effort made by a small municipal staff to complete a procedure with a high administrative burden. Having overcome that phase and secured funding, the priority now shifts to technically defining the action and moving towards works that will allow the complete recovery of this section of the route.
